| Reverse description | Apollo standing facing right, depicted in full figure holding a taenia (sacred fillet or ribbon) and a laurel branch, attributes closely associated with the god's role as patron of music, prophecy, and the games. The figure is rendered in a static, hieratic style characteristic of provincial Aeolian bronze coinage. The Greek legend ΔΙΦΙΛΟϹ ΦΑΙΤΑ ΑΓΩΝΟΘΕΤΑϹ is distributed around the field, naming the local magistrate Diphilos, son of Phaita, in his capacity as agonothetes (president of the games), a civic honorific attesting to his role in sponsoring public festivals at Aegae. |
